Method for transmitting and receiving SRS and communication device therefor
A method for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a by a user equipment (UE) includes: receiving, from a base station, first information on a number of SRS symbols configured for one slot and second information on a number of repetitions of symbols configured for transmission of an SRS; determining whether the number of repetitions is greater than the number of the SRS symbols; when the number of repetitions is greater than the number of the SRS symbols, determining the number of repetitions of the symbols by a value identical to the number of the SRS symbols; and transmitting the SRS based on the determined number of repetitions. The UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station, or a network.
